(1883) World’s first overhead wired electricity turns onRoselle, New Jersey is a lot brighter tonight after Thomas Edison’s overhead electrical lines are used to light up the town. This new invention will catch on as the US, and the world, electrify.(1915) First major aerial bombardment targeting civiliansTwo WWI German zeppelins drop bombs over the English coastal towns of Great Yarmouth and King’s Lynn, resulting in more than 20 deaths. Aerial bombing raids beginning 25 years later, during WWII, will cause hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties in Europe and Asia.The aerial bombing of cities in warfare is an optional element of strategic bombing which was first seen in World War I. The bombing of cities grew to a vast scale in World War II, and is still practiced today. The development of aerial bombardment marked an increased capacity of armed forces to deliver ordnance from the air against combatants, military bases, and factories, with a greatly reduced risk to its ground forces. Civilian and non-combatant casualties in bombed cities have variously been a purposeful result of the bombings, or unavoidable collateral damage depending on intent and technology. A number of multilateral efforts have been made to restrict the use of aerial bombardment so as to protect non-combatants.wiki/Aerial_bombing_of_cities(1937) Aviator Howard Hughes sets transcontinental air recordMillionaire tycoon and intrepid pilot Howard Hughes spends 7 hours, 28 minutes, and 25 seconds flying his H-1 Racer solo between California and New Jersey, setting a new cross-America speed record.Howard Robard Hughes Jr. was an American entrepreneur, known during his lifetime as one of the most financially successful individuals in the world. He first made a name for himself as a film producer, and then became an influential figure in the aviation industry.

I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel. To those who say they can't stay in touch if I am not on there, if you can't reach me because I am not on Facebook, then you are not trying AT ALL - therefore, good riddance.
